Development of Mechanical Properties of Cement Paste with Different Addition of Polyvinyl Alcohol

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper deals with using resonance method for determine the development of the mechanical properties of cement paste with different polyvinyl alcohol content. Main properties which were monitored are the dynamic Young’s modulus and dynamic shear modulus. Those properties were measured during 161 days for better understanding of influence of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) added in the cement paste. Difference between this paper and already published articles is in several parameters. Main difference is that samples in this paper were cured on air, not in water. Moreover was used higher amount of polyvinyl alcohol on modification of cement paste.
